Summary:Discover how quartz transforms into high-purity photovoltaic glass material with SBM's advanced crushing tech & intelligent solutions for clean energy production.
In the new energy revolution, photovoltaic power generation is becoming an important pillar of clean energy. The core material for manufacturing photovoltaic glass comes from our common quartz stone. This seemingly ordinary ore, after purification and processing, has a silicon content of over 99.5% to meet the demanding requirements of solar panels.
In order to let more people understand this key technology, our technical experts from the SBM Group traveled to the silicon purification site of our client in Urumqi. They revealed the entire process of how quartz stone transforms into the raw material for photovoltaic glass, witnessing how technology allows ordinary minerals to shine in the realm of new energy.
Enhancing Energy Efficiency in Silicon Sand Crushing Technology
Ore crushing is the first process of silicon purification, but it faces two major challenges:efficiency and iron contamination, as well as particle size and over-crushing. Traditional equipment is prone to metal wear during high-speed crushing, with fine iron filings mixed into the sand material and purity instantly falling below the red line; However, excessive crushing can lead to increased energy consumption, resulting in a high fine powder content in 0-10mm finished products.
SBM's Solution: HST Single Cylinder Hydraulic Cone Crusher
The HST single cylinder hydraulic cone crusher, a meticulously crafted piece of equipment, is becoming a trusted industrial partner in critical fields such as photovoltaic glass sand and high-purity quartz sand, injecting lasting momentum into the high-quality development of the new energy industry.
- Layered Crushing Process: Achieves efficient crushing through material-to-material compression, significantly reducing the fine powder ratio and enhancing product quality and resource utilization.
- Fully Hydraulic Intelligent Control System: Features automatic iron protection and pressure adjustment, minimizing unexpected downtime and ensuring continuous and stable operation.
- Special Sealing Structure Design: Effectively isolates metal contamination, ensuring the purity of the sand material and meeting the high purity standards of industries like photovoltaics.
Intelligent Operation and Maintenance Technology
The birth of high-purity silicon sand relies not only on the outstanding performance of core equipment but also on the coordination of every detail in the entire production line.
During this technical visit, our team identified and promptly resolved several issues:
Issue:
- The pressure relief valve of the single-cylinder cone crusher system was leaking oil due to a seal failure.
- The hydraulic pipeline of the second device experienced abnormal friction due to improper wiring.
Solutions:
- Replaced the pressure relief valve on the first device and established an intelligent alert mechanism for critical spare parts.
- Implemented intelligent wiring modifications for the hydraulic pipeline on the second device.
Issue:
The power supply lines of the oil station were disorganized, posing safety risks such as short circuits and leakage.
Solution:
Deployed a modular cable tray system and collaborated with the client’s electrical team to complete standard electrical modifications, ensuring a safe and reliable power supply system.
Full Lifecycle Service Ecosystem
In every step of silicon purification, we focus not only on the stable operation of equipment but also on creating long-term value for our clients.
1. Establishing an Intelligent Alert Mechanism for Critical Spare Parts:
For vulnerable parts such as pressure relief valves and seals, the team recommends that customers regularly inspect and reserve spare parts. At the same time, an intelligent monitoring system should be introduced to track the status of the parts in real time, warn potential problems in advance, and ensure zero production interruption.
2. Promoting Intelligent Upgrades of Production Lines:
In this service, the team not only solved existing problems, but also focused on the future, proposing optimization suggestions such as intelligent wiring of hydraulic systems and electrical standardization transformation, laying the foundation for the customer's digital transformation.
SBM is committed to driving green development alongside China’s photovoltaic industry through technological innovation and quality service. We deeply understand that only when our customers succeed can we truly be considered successful. In the future, we will continue to focus on the research and development of mineral purification technology, providing more Chinese technologies and solutions for the global green energy industry.
On this path towards a green future, we look forward to working together with more partners to create a cleaner and more sustainable tomorrow!
